Hello. I'm a 28 year old man from Finland. I's been over a year since I got an anal fissure. Not really sure how it happened, I just started to feel pain after BM's. Since I couldn't cure the fissure with ointments and diet changes I had LIS two months ago. I was awake during the operation and it wasn't really that horrible experience. Ever since I've slowly been getting better. Now my only problem is that sometimes after BM's there's a little leakage and I have to go and wipe again after an hour or two. I hope this will eventually get better...
Other than that I'm fine and pain free. And I do recommend LIS for people suffering with fissures. Just find a good surgeon with lots of experience.
So anyway, it's a great site you guys have going on here:) I'll try to keep you updated on my healing progress.
